When mapping utilities in the complex built environment, it is important to have the proper tools and expertise. Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is the process of mapping the utilities under your feet safely, before you dig. Complex distribution systems being utilized daily by millions can be hard to track, but geophysical tools like electromagnetic induction…
Infrasense provides comprehensive GPR scanning of concrete pavements to map rebar and layer thickness of concrete and base layers. In addition to accurate rebar and pavement layer thickness measurements, the GPR data can be used to determine the precise location and alignment of each dowel bar and tie-bar. This information is invaluable for both rehabilitation…
We employ advanced NDE methods, such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR), to map bedrock topography and reveal subsurface features – depth/elevation, areas of fracture or weathering profiles, or other potential weak zones – that can have a direct impact on infrastructure stability and performance. In addition to collected GPR data, borehole data can be used as…
At Infrasense, we understand the importance of precision and safety in completing infrastructure projects, which is why we often utilize 3D Ground Penetrating Radar (3DGPR) for utility and obstruction mapping. 3DGPR surveys let us provide detailed imaging of subsurface utilities and obstructions without the need for lane closures. The 3DGPR data is combined with as-built…
The Infrasense SUE Team is hard at work on subsurface utility mapping projects across Massachusetts. Leveraging advanced tools like 3D ground penetrating radar (3DGPR), EMI utility tracers, and other geophysical methods, we continue to support our client’s projects with accurate and comprehensive utility maps. If you have an upcoming project where we can be of…
Infrasense is exhibiting this week at the 100th Annual North Eastern States’ Materials Engineers Association (NESMEA) meeting in Springfield, MA. We are excited meet with clients and colleagues to discuss using nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods for mapping subsurface conditions.
